Labyrinth

The carpet in this section displays the pattern of a labyrinth. With roots dating back to ancient Greece and other cultures, the labyrinth is a maze whose twisting and winding paths symbolize the ebb and flow of life – in which an ending also can be a beginning. The physical activity of walking the labyrinth can provide rest and heightened awareness of one’s surroundings in the journey of life.
